A great drama comes to an end.
The host and guest enjoyed themselves happily.
The next step is to complete the ceremony to welcome the return of the leader, and then have a banquet to talk about business.
Before that, Lin Shan asked the Black Skeleton Demon Lord two things.
One is about the issue of the failure of the Lingbao virtual astrolabe;
The second is about its silent promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Even if the spirit treasure fails, what have you done?"
This incident really frightened him, and he was almost tricked by this skeleton! But fortunately, he had been holding back the ancient charm before and did not strengthen the "Wind and Thunder Jue" or the Fengbo Pavilion, just in case!
The marriage really convinced him.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord secretly transmitted the message:
"Actually, it's nothing. The reason why the virtual star disk can crack the formation, I guess, is simply because it is connected to the stars in the sky, so it relies on the starlight to penetrate the interior for calculation."
"I built several large formations to completely block the stars in the sky. The virtual star disk became blind. Without the help of the stars, the natural effect is greatly reduced."
"Brother, I am also reminding you that you should be careful of others using this trick against you in the future. You will gain wisdom after every experience."
Lin Shan instantly understood that the reason why the virtual star disk was so unfavorable was that it relied on the many stars in the sky, equivalent to the Sky Eye monitoring satellites, to look down at the earth to help him locate the mountains and terrain, and to use the loopholes in the formation to make calculations.
If there is no satellite, it is equivalent to being blind, but it must not be disabled on the spot!
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord is a master of weapon refining, so he has some understanding of the principles, so he made targeted cracks.
Lin Shan secretly made a note, understanding that even Lingbao is not omnipotent and has flaws.
"Then what happened to your Nascent Soul?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord answered honestly. It turned out that in order to be able to break through the Nascent Soul stage before Lin Shan, he specially contacted the main body of the hell world and asked them to spend a huge price to find a ray of devil source energy, and then sent it to him. Come this way.
"Cross-border delivery, do you have this ability???"
Lin Shan's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe it.
If reselling between the two worlds was so easy, he would have made a fortune long ago, right?
"Ahem, no, because the target is small, only one wisp, and a lot of resources are consumed on both sides"
When the Black Skeleton Demon Lord said this, he obviously felt guilty.
At this time, Lu Xiuming sorted out the Xun Gu Sect's accounts over the years and brought them to Lin Shan's desk for him to read, only to find that there was a big word "debt" prominently on it!
The forest is overturned, what a guy!
I have been out for a few years, but instead of accumulating a huge amount of wealth, the originally extremely wealthy sect has incurred huge foreign debts!
"How did you do it?"
He looked at Lu Xiuming in disbelief.
The latter looked at the Black Skeleton Demon Lord with a helpless smile and reported truthfully:
"Seventy percent of all expenses were taken away by Elder Heiku and used for unknown purposes. The remaining 30% was spent on the war on the northern front"
The north has been fighting with the merchants and Shangyang Academy for many years, and the wars really cost money. This is understandable.
For the sake of his own selfishness, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord went so far as to find ancient religions for himself, which made Lin Shan dumbfounded!
Judging from the stunned look on the skeleton's face, he probably knew something about the cross-border transmission, and there was no need to ask anymore.
On the contrary, the northern war, which lasted for so long, could train countless elite talents for the two generations of Xun Gu Sect, so the money was well spent.
But now that I'm back and I've fought enough, it's time to close the net.
Lu Xiuming briefly told him about the development of Lujiang League in Western Shandong over the years. It has basically become a regional hegemon and is deeply tied to Yunchuan Academy. One is responsible for education and training, and the other is responsible for the distribution of graduation packages. It has attracted many Talents from other places in Lu State.
There are also many changes within the alliance.
The most important thing is that with the active development of allies, the original elders, including the four major families of Wangyue City, the four sects of Lunan, etc., have gradually failed to keep up and were gradually replaced by other sects. This is also the result of the change of old and new and the change of power. One ring.
This is generally the law of normal development of large forces, and there is a lot of experience from the past that can be learned.
Lin Shan just listened and had no intention of intervening.
Then when we talked about the war on the northern front, it was full of twists and turns!
On the side of Chixiao City, Patriarch Lu Que and Master Zhankong were working together to advance, attack, retreat and defend, firmly taking the initiative.
The merchants couldn't defeat it, so they had to invite the ancestors of the merchants who had been closed to death for hundreds of years to stabilize the situation again.
But then, Mu Yan, the long-lost genius of the Xungu Cult, returned in an accidental battle and burned most of the merchants to death!
It is said that there were numerous casualties at the scene, and the demonic fire burned ragingly for three months without extinguishing.
This time the opponent's defense was broken directly!
Mu Yan was accused of using "Demon Fire", a pure demonic method, to kill innocent people indiscriminately, which was a heinous crime.
Because any karmic fire must be the result of killing too many evildoers and condensing one's own karma, thereby condensing the flames.
It is a product of causality, so it is most likely his own, and it is probably impossible to inherit it from others.
And since it is related to cause and effect, this fire is naturally extremely powerful!
The merchants were frightened and called on the entire cultivation world of Lu to denounce and criticize him with words and writings!
Under the strong pressure of public opinion, in order not to implicate Xun Gujiao, Mu Yan simply absconded secretly, entered the enemy's hinterland in northwest Shandong, and began to carry out sneak attacks.
The merchants and Shangyang Academy sent people to encircle and suppress the Xungu Sect, while using this to discredit the Xungu Sect.
This trick was indeed effective, and it really aroused a lot of dissatisfaction, and even caused the interference of the top forces in the central region of Lu State.
In recent years, it is said that due to the successive returns of Yuanying ancestors, major forces have gradually opened their gates and reappeared in the world.
The first person to be summoned was the White Deer Academy for questioning!
The other party sent an envoy to go directly to the Lujiang League to hold him accountable. It was obvious that he looked down on the Xun Gu Sect and did not go to Tianfu Mountain specifically.
The deputy leader of the Yang family received the envoy, and he looked confused when faced with the questioning. Knowing that Lin Shan could not find any solution without looking for ancient religion, he quickly invited people from Yunchuan Academy to mediate.
As a result, the envoy didn't buy it, so he called Shangyang Academy and the Shang family, including Bailu Academy, Yunchuan Academy, and Lujiang League, and held a five-party meeting. Only the Xun Gu Sect was not the rightful leader!
In the end, under pressure of three to two, the Xun Gu Sect was forced to hand over the murderer and pay compensation by ceding territory!
When this news reached Tianfu Mountain, it didn't even make a splash.
The Black Skull Demon Lord didn't bother them even once and just threw them away as waste paper.
Skeleton was busy breaking through the Nascent Soul stage at that time, thinking about how to deal with Lin Shan when he returned. How could he have time to control those who were there?
After the verdict, the Xun Gu Sect turned a blind eye and continued to go its own way.
It directly pissed off the messenger from White Deer Academy!
Go back and complain directly. When you accuse, you should also bring the Lujiang League with you. Who makes the leader of the Xungu Sect the leader of the Lujiang League?
This made the merchants and Shangyang Academy extremely happy, and they sat back and waited to watch the show. The closure of the mountain at White Deer Academy has just ended, and it is the time to reorganize the order of the cultivation world. If you encounter such a thorn in your side who doesn't listen to discipline, of course you can't just let it go.
After waiting for several months, after internal discussions and arrangements, a lineage was sent to Luxi.
Instead of going to the Lujiang League or Xungu Sect, he went directly to the frontline Chixiao City and started enforcing the law.
But who would have thought that Patriarch Lu Que who was on the front line would not accept this trick at all!
I don’t know what they talked about, but they actually got into a fight on the spot, and a conflict broke out!
The people from White Deer Academy had no experience fighting against soul cultivators, so they were seriously injured by Patriarch Lu Que on the spot and fled in panic.
The merchants are even happier now!
The Xun Gu Sect is seeking death. Even the White Deer Academy resists the attack. It is so audacious!
Things turned out as they expected. After further fermentation, White Deer Academy collectively stirred up trouble. From the professors to the students, they all believed that the new upstart Lujiang League was too arrogant and must be severely cracked down to extinguish the arrogance.
At the same time, this incident also shocked the State of Lu and caused widespread spread in the cultivation world.
Lu Xiuming, who was looking for the ancient religion, panicked. He discussed with Deputy Leader Yang of the Lujiang League for a long time, and even prepared a last-ditch fight to preserve the elite fire as a last resort.
But something bigger happened during this time.
Then Jingyang Academy was attacked by unknown persons. The attackers were three demonic Nascent Soul monks. Just when they were in danger, Shui Bingyue appeared from the sky!
He came out of the customs in one fell swoop and blasted them all away, shocking the surrounding countries.
Next, when White Deer Academy was preparing to impose sanctions on the Xun Gu Sect, they stopped it again, saying that forces from other domains had a normal confrontation and should remain neutral and fair.
In the end, the ancestors of White Deer Academy were afraid and made a compromise, temporarily letting the Lujiang League go, but leaving a hook.
When a top-level player loses face, he must find a way to regain his reputation. There is an explanation.
It is to allow people from White Deer Academy to go to northwest Shandong to find the culprit ‘Mu Yan’ and capture this young man who practices karma evil fire!
The results were astonishing.
Mu Yan was wandering around in the vast territory of northwest Shandong. Not only did he fool Bailu Academy, Shang Yang Academy, and the Shang family, he even became stronger and stronger, killing many people.
For a time, he became the number one person on the wanted list of Lu State!
Many people in the world of cultivation can hear rumors about him every once in a while, either killing a certain celebrity or killing a certain master.
Until recently, after a professor from White Deer Academy who was in the late Jindan period also died in the volcanoes in northwest Shandong, it finally set off a frenzy of public opinion!
In the later period of Jin Dan, he also had the title of professor and could be said to be a top figure in the Confucian academic circles of the Lu State. He was so popular in the Central Region that no one other than a great Confucian could greet him with respect.
White Deer Academy was shocked internally, and a meeting was held to discuss why arrests for so many years had no results, and instead they were repeatedly slapped in the face.
In the end, everyone was surprised by the child's growth rate and agreed that they could not continue to allow it to develop. However, this alone was not enough to invite the ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage to go there in person.
What is the age of the ancestor? How can you be so shameless when you bully a small person to this extent?
Just at this time, the genius of White Deer Academy, Zhong Shenxiu, came out of seclusion!
Once out of seclusion, the young Nascent Soul!
Everyone's eyes were blinded on the spot, and everyone was shocked and inexplicable.
Originally, Shui Bingyue from Jingyang Academy was the first to break through the Nascent Soul and had already surpassed Bailu Academy. Now that Zhong Shenxiu's young Nascent Soul has appeared, he has suddenly regained the limelight.
Different from Shui Bingyue's low-profile, this time White Deer Academy made a high-profile announcement that all the forces in the Lu Kingdom who could reach a higher level in the cultivation world were invited to attend the ceremony.
The grandness of the Nascent Soul Ceremony can be regarded as the most grand in the past few hundred years!
After many people saw him with their own eyes, they were shocked, inexplicably depressed, and depressed when they returned home. It is everyone's tragedy to live with such a genius in the same life.
White Deer Academy even regarded him as Wanhui Nian, the hope for the rise of Confucianism!
Then regarding the matter of Mu Yan, after many requests from the elders of the academy, it was decided to ask Zhong Shenxiu to take action on his behalf to capture this beast!
Zhong Shenxiu was at the height of his popularity. In order to establish himself as a benchmark for the Confucian sect for ten thousand years, he immediately accepted the offer, claiming that he would definitely eradicate all evil and bring peace to the world.
"It is said that True Lord Shenxiu, after visiting the friendly forces at White Deer Academy one by one a few days ago, is already preparing to leave for northwest Shandong"
True Lord Shenxiu is Zhong Shenxiu’s new title.
Lu Xiuming lowered his head respectfully, obviously caring about Mu Yan's safety, and emphatically reported the matter to Lin Shan first, asking him to make a decision.
"Muyan."
Lin Shan tapped his fingers on the desk and fell into thought.
Many senior officials of the Xun Gu Sect next to them are looking forward to it. From their own perspective, they all have deep feelings for Mu Yan and believe that this young man is not bad in nature.
Even if a thousand people are pointing out it, it is my own family. Of course, the elbows must be turned inward!
In particular, the merchants spread Mu Yan everywhere and killed innocent people indiscriminately. None of the old people in the Xun Gu Sect believed it, and they were even more unhappy with White Deer Academy's intervention.
Now that the leader is back, Elder Heiku has also become a Nascent Soul. Their ambitions are growing crazily, and they are all ready to fight out, make achievements, expand territory, and become ministers of Conglong!
"Leader, why don't you leave this matter to me, so that you can get away with your crime and make meritorious service!"
"Not only will he bring Mu Yan back to you, but he will also wipe out all the merchants like Shangyang Academy!"
"If you dare to go against my ancient religion, you will be suppressed and killed!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord approached cautiously and offered to help him. The main thing was to make some achievements quickly, otherwise he would not have the shame to ask for the soul source.
Lin Shan just shook his head and replied lightly.
"You are no match for Zhong Shenxiu."
"I"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was furious on the spot!
This demon king has been conquering hell for so many years, and he can't even offend a Nascent Soul boy who just broke through. Are you kidding me?
Lin Shan was not joking, he knew that times were different now.
In the past, when his realm was low, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was by his side, and with the advantage of being in a high position, he could always reduce the dimension to attack his opponents.
But now that it has reached the Nascent Soul stage, what it has learned is already on par with its opponents, and it no longer has an overwhelming advantage.
In other words, you can now treat it as a general and normal Nascent Soul stage, without any filters or halo, otherwise it may lead to a big mistake!
By the time Mu Yan fails to save him, and the details of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord are still exposed in the battle, the Xun Gu Sect will suffer even greater losses.
You know, the opponent is Zhong Shenxiu, the Confucian sect's immortal genius.
"Third brother, it seems that this time, I have to meet you personally for my brother's sake!" (End of Chapter)
